I am preparing  for  the installation of Linux. Since backup will take
forever, I would prefer to set it right the first time. My question is
what  will be a  reasonable way  to divide  linux  into  several small
partitions ?

I want  to partition my hard disk (  2G left, already one DOS  primary
and  one DOS extension  subdivided  into 2 logical drive letter ) into
several  partitions  and  put  various  parts of linux on  them.  Some
directories have more potential to grow than  others. This way, I  can
divide full backup to partitions  and do it in  smaller session.  Some
files need to be in a certain place  or be with certain files.

I am reading  the Linux Bible published  by Yggdrasil ( how to prounce
this anyway ? ). But so far I can't get any definite suggestion on how
to divide linux. So perhaps this is an logical/experimental issue.

I would appreciate any experience you can share with me.


BTW,  is there any good  backup  program out  there  ? Something  like
Fastback  or  PC-Backup for  DOS  ?  All I  found is tar and one  very
expensive program ( > $1000 per licence ).
